Solubilization and reconstitution of the formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine receptor coupled to guanine nucleotide regulatory protein

Abstract: We describe the solubilization, resolution, and reconstitution of the formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe) receptor and guanine nucleotide regulatory proteins (G-proteins). The receptor was solubilized with 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate. Guanine nucleotides decreased the number of high-affinity binding sites and accelerated the rate of dissociation of the receptor-ligand complex, suggesting that the solubilized receptor remained coupled to endogenous G-proteins. The sol… Show more

“…21 are adjacent or are in the surface-exposed hydrophobic pocket that has been argued to drive the association of IL-8 to the receptor by hydrophobic interactions (17). In our present work, substitution of His 18 and Phe 21 for Ala caused modest changes in binding affinity, calcium responses, and release of ␤-glucuronidase. These observations indicate that the hydrophobic nature of these residues does not play a major role in the mechanisms of recognition and activation of the IL-8 receptors.…”
